Apple has built a new iTunes store that is much more efficient. Click the Welcome image, it will open in a web preview first, in the past iTunes would open directly and there wasn’t a web page preview. This gives a viewer the chance to look around before launching iTunes, which is excellent.

Apple Computer - is well known for excellent engineering and that has never been more apparent than inside the multi-core Intel architecture inside the newest Mac Pro dubbed Nehalem. As a government contractor I have the honor of providing products and services within my specialties. Mac systems for video production is one of those areas. I just finished rocking out two (2) systems which are loaded to the gills. I’d like to tell you where they are going, but if I told you I’d have to kill ME!
Two identical systems to the one I have in my own studio and so I was entrusted to configure them for the military with components and software that would make anyone squeal with glee. Did I mention 16GB of RAM? Ya, that too, however this system has three RAM channels and share across all processors. Adding RAM to slot 4 will reduce the bandwidth speed on channel three and the RAM in slot four by half. This can be a negative for programs like Color, Motion, but the full rack-o-RAM is a positive for running multiple programs at the same time. I will be curious to performed the bench tests with 12GB; my system has 16GB installed. Get the scoop from the source: “INTEL”

A couple quick videos showing the modular design, quality engineering, and ease of access inside our brand new Mac Pro 8-core Nehalen machine. [Click the image to see this machine on Apple's web site.]
The machine formerly known as “The G5″ has plenty of life now serving as our audio workstation, so our audio workstation is capable of posting HD should we need it, while providing a nice step up in sound design.

The latest and greatest at that time from Apple wasn’t super impressive. His project was built on the Apple architecture; 1028 machine networked processors; they too were using Ultra-SCSI 320 dual channel RAIDs for super computing. I was impressed. At that time he spoke of the future, he told of an 8-Core system; code name “Nehalem”. He also told me I should shave my soul patch and get in shape. Can you imagine?
The new iPhone is open for business.
No, I don’t have one. I can’t - my entire day would be screwing around with the iPhone “platform”. Apple represents an entirely new way of computing… and commuting. Don’t toss on that Windows® ladened PC just yet. The crush to develop plugins for the iPhone is just beginning. It won’t take
